[rt-users] Default value

[Kenneth Crocker]

Mathew,


	I think I know why. In your scrip code, you define your $CFObj using 
current user See line below).

my $CFObj = RT::CustomField->new( $QueueObj->CurrentUser );

	I update our global field for ALL E_mail creates with the ticket 
subject line (this is so I ALWAYS get some sort of description in my 
Global CF "Description. I use the following code:

# set description

my $cf_obj;
my $cf_name;
my $cf_value;

$cf_obj = RT::CustomField->new($RT::SystemUser);
$cf_name = "Description";
$cf_value = $self->TicketObj->Subject();
$RT::Logger->debug( $self . " cf_value = ". $cf_value . "\n" );
$cf_obj->LoadByName( Name => $cf_name );
$RT::Logger->debug( "Loaded \$cf_obj->Name = ". $cf_obj->Name() ."\n" );
$cf_obj->AddValueForObject( Object=>$self->TicketObj, Content=>$cf_value, );

	In my code, I don't use "CurrentUser", I use "$RT::SystemUser". I also 
do not define it as a QueueObj. That might make a difference. Try it and 
let me know. Hope this helps.
